Rape Charge Dismissed Against Fed Hill Restaurant Owner

Prosecutors review surveillance footage at Blue Agave, dismiss charge
BALTIMORE —The co-owner of a popular Federal Hill restaurant in Baltimore is no longer facing a rape charge.
Earlier this month, police arrested 29-year-old Matthew Lasimski after a customer claimed she was assaulted inside the bathroom at Blue Agave restaurant in the early morning hours on New Year's Day.

But after viewing surveillance footage, the prosecution decided to dismiss the charges.

I really hope the accused sues the hell out of the person who accused him. this kind of false accusation can have serious reprecussions on the innocent.

Seems to me that a statement saying they "decided to dismiss the charges" means they can't be sure that the burden of proof is at least 99%, which is what is needed in a criminal case. That doesn't mean that nothing happened. I would bet money this guy doesn't file civil suit because he's wiping his brow considering himself lucky.
